Threatened to kill them if police stormed the facility where the Kouachi brothers were holed up.

French security forces moved in. Killing Coulibaly. Four hostages were found dead. Five others wounded. Dead men tell no tales.

A previous article suggested Charlie Hebdo killings were less about terrorism and more about false flag deception.

Kouachi brothers and Coulibaly were well known to police for years. French intelligence services closely monitored them.

Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said both brothers spoke “more than 500 times” to Coulibaly and his girlfriend Hayat Boumedienne by telephone.

Five people remain in detention. Including the wife of one of the Kouachi brothers. Reuters said one Kouachi brother was “identified by his identity card, which had been left in the (abandoned) getaway car.”

A policeman was reportedly shot in the head. No blood was seen. One account said an officer emerged from a police car.

Another claimed he came out of a police station. A third had him on a bicycle. One source said both brothers returned to their car after killing the officer. Shouting: “We avenged the Prophet Muhammad.”

Did French security forces know about the planned Charlie Hebdo attack in advance?” [Media reports confirm foreknowledge]. Were they complicit? Did they want this type incident to take place?

Did they produce “Je suis Charlie” posters in advance? After Wednesday’s incident, they appeared straightaway. An ocean of signs. Images televised worldwide.

Were Washington’s dirty hands involved? Were Israel’s? Israeli IBA Channel 1 deputy editor Amchai Stein was at the scene at the time. He posted photos of the shooting.

Netanyahu announced that he would sent an Israeli SWAT team. Specialists in siege operations. On standby to aid French security forces.

What about Mossad and CIA operatives? Were they involved? In planning and executing what happened.

Were Kouachi brothers and Coulibaly convenient patsies? As well as third suspect Hamyd Mourad.

His school friends twittered otherwise. Saying he was in class with them whenWednesday’s attack occurred.

After seeing his name mentioned, he turned himself in to police in Charleville-Mezierres 145 miles northeast of Paris. Nowhere near where Charlie Hebdo killings took place.
